Data / ML / System design. Care about politics and trying to leave the world better than I found it, which seems impossible these days. How do we fix it?

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

I suppose if there's one good thing coming from this, Senate Dems have made it very easy to run against the party next year.

It's really hard not seeing Dems are useful idiots for Republicans, whom are just useful idiots for the Russians. Who the hell actually cares about Americans?
Vote blue, no matter who, because Republicans are more evil than idiots, but we need to primary everyone that votes for this capitulation.

I'm rereading the Bible, this time my family's old German Bible. I'm trying to get where Jesus said not to heal the sick nor feed the hungry, because surely the good Christian Republicans got it from some reading.
